    1968 My Car Is Fake!!! (According To Some Jerk At A Car Show)

    ...Well, on the flip side. My clone won an award at a show as a real GT/CS! I wasn't present at the awards ceremony because I didn't think it was possible... Man! Good thing I wasn't there to tell THAT "jerk" a thing or two! ;-)

    P-51 Mustang Tribute ...

    Funny, but that was my original inspiration for having a Mustang, 'cept it was a "351" instead of a P-51. Back then, the side pipes were the closest I could come to duplicating the Merlin sound (not even...) but I did enjoy pulling lateral 'Gs' at every turn! ;-) Incidentally, we have some...

    1968 If you're in the area...

    ...Come see us July 7th at "Thunder in the Sky" in Auburn, CA (where Mustangs meet Mustangs!) We're a half-hour north of Sacramento on the way to Reno along interstate 80. I'll be doing the MC'ing and my son, TJ will be in for the thrill of his life as a back-seater during the Patriot's Jet...

    1968 How many GT/CS are left on the road?

    ...I don't see a problem with surmising how many are still around. It's a frequently asked question that deserves a thoughtful answer.

    1968 Casey - Autographed MT (Lee Gray and Iaccoca

    ...Beg to differ! Silently iconic to the effort as you were, the value is as great or greater IMO. But, we can certainly see you wanting to keep those....to compliment your next GT/CS some day :-)

    1968 How many GT/CS are left on the road?

    ...Whenever I'm asked, I approximate by simply saying "less than half of the 4118" still exist". In our travels locally, Renee and I plus other friends have spotted numerous '68s that are neither members or registered. Although cordial and enthusiastic, most of those folks weren't interested...

    1968 Definitive answer on where CSs were built

    ...Add to that, Jim, we have some incredible "clone" stories to share from over the years including a local guy here who bought (at premium $), shown, and won awards with a beautiful car he thought was a real GT/CS!...right up until it was discovered his car came from Metuchen. 'Broke his...

    1968 Definitive answer on where CSs were built

    ...Yes. In fact, you also shouldn't consider a San Jose VIN as a real CS without first obtaining a Marti report. And Welcome to the group here :-)

    ...Sadly, it's now looking like I won't be making it at all. Very busy with work, meetings, printing and promoting our upcoming air show. there has just been no time to appropriately prepare cars. TJ has also started a new business and is moving into his own building, so his plate is full as...

    1968 Nice day to play. At last!!

    ...Yet another awesome day (today) with Ron Moore "Clubpro" and Renee "PonyGal"! Ron brought his two special friends, Joe and Huey, to see and discuss the GT/CS and HCS cars. Joe had recently acquired an elusive Pebble Beige C-code and with Ron's incredible encouragement, was well on his way...
